This would be top of my list to do in Flam! You got right down into the fjord and up close and personal with the waterfalls. It was just awesome. They fit you out with proper gear, including googles. The guide was so entertaining and informative too! Read more

I went into this thinking it would be a bit of a tourist trap nightmare. However, it ended up being one of the prettier and more enjoyable experiences of the trip. I loved stopping off to get some goat cheese and I almost wish we could do a second stop as well. Paulina was excellent! Read more

This unique experience was fun. Our guide, Erick (apologize for any misspelling here) was awesome on this tour. Zooming around the fjords, learning interesting, sometimes fascinating things about the history of the people who settled in and around the area. Read more

Tips for future travelers

This is a trip open to all adults, even the elderly. The scenery is breathtaking. It had rained the day prior so there were incredible waterfalls everywhere. Snow on the mountain tops. The stop for the edible portion is the town that the backdrop for the Disney movie Frozen . There aren't enough adjectives to adequately describe this experience. You may wish to consider doing this the same day of arrival on the train from Oslo, as the trip departs at around 4:30pm in August. If you are not interested in hiking/biking, this could cut out a day in Aurland to add an extra day in Bergen
